Did you watch the 82 Oscar's if so did you predict the winners correctly?

Everyone I read this morning talked about how there really weren't any surprises. But I thought there were a couple of surprises. I know everyone said Sandra Bullock would win for The Blind Side, but I really thought Meryl Streep would win. And I thought James Cameron would beat Kathryn Bigelow for best director, but he didn't. Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled Sandra Bullock won. It seems that Oscars never go to people in movies where the public actually goes to see them. It seems that the people who win are in small, arty movies. Like Jeff Bridges winning this year for Crazy Heart. However, if Meryl Streep had won, I would have been happy for her too. Because she was great in Julie and Julia. I'm also thrilled Kathryn Bigelow won for best director. She is the first woman director ever to win an Oscar. But the best part is that she beat arrogant James Cameron. I know a lot of people love him and Avatar, but I'm not one of them.

I just don't understand why everyone likes those award shows. Good grief, haven't they scammed enough money out of us all with the high prices of movies and DVD's and all that stuff, and then when they win the awards...their salaries go up and we have to pay more then next time!?!??! in my opinion, not a single actor/ress does enough to "earn" those humongous salries that they get. And then when they get the award, not only do they dress like high-priced street walkers or a bum, but I"ve yet to hear any of them say first thing..."I want to thank all my fans. You are the ones that made it possible for me to earn this award and allow me to have a very high salary and live so comfortably, so thank you very much"

The only one I got wrong was the best picture. I really thought Avatar was going to win because of all the money the movie has made so far. I was so happy that The Hurt Locker won along with the director of the movie. I think with the Hurt Locker winning that was the biggest surprise of the evening.

I was expecting Avatar to dominate, but The Hurt Locker coming out on top of a record-breaking film really surprised me. Overall, it was a really good event with a range of top contenders and deserving winners (Christoph Waltz for Best Supporting Actor, he definitely earned that one)

I love award season. I watch almost all the award shows. i wasn't really that surprised with the winners of the best director and best movie category. The Hurt Locker follows the usual trend of Academy winners; non-blockbuster, dramatic, provoking, etc. I was surprised about Bullock. I love Sandra and I did think she did a good job on that role. It was a good movie. However, I wouldve put money on Helen winning. Oh well.

I was a bit dissapointed as well this year. Not only was the award ceremony a little boring but like you said nobody i wanted to won the big awards. I had my bets on Inglorious to take the cake in a bunch of different catagories. Like director and picture. I like avatar but fel that the only awards it deserved were the 2 that it had won (effects). The hurt locker to me wasnt a great movie and should not have won, Quintin was a much better director this year round. Also what the hell was with bullock winning the best actress? everyone keeps saying she was due for a win but thats no reason to win, should have been miren or streep in my opinion.

I piggy backed on Roger Ebert's picks and all of them were correct. I thought Jeff Bridges wold win. It was such a meaty part. I thought Sandra would part because of the character she played was tough and tender all at the same time. I hoped Kathyrn would win for The Hurt Locker. I thought Mo Nique would win. Her role is the type of role the Academy loves and so was Christoph's. And as for best picture I was hoping the Academy would vote for The Hurt Locker. It seemed to be more of a poignant story.

apples99, Well, I did predict but not for the winners. Yes, I predicted who WOULD NOT win and did wonderfully well. First, I predicted that Avatar and James Cameron will not get beyond nomination. I just do not buy it especially when the director could be so insensitive and crazy to produce a film that cost sponsors a big hole on their wallets. Mind you, this is a challenging and tough time for everybody around. For Avatar and James Cameron supporters, please do not take any offense here, as I am only stating what is on my mind and a fact. Without a doubt, the movie is indeed a masterpiece as far as the visual effects and a first of the many tech being applied is worth watching but I just cannot stomach the amount of money taken to produce it. Fortunately, the box office made it a worthwhile venture and I just cannot imagine if it had turned out the other way. For Meryl Streep fans, I too did not see her winning this year's Academy as far as her role in her movie Julie and Julia because I felt the story line is a little too predictive and blend. Although, I must say that the movie would have been a disaster if Meryl Streep was absent, she did well with her role. But, Sandra's Blind Side is much better although, I must admit that I was a little concern with her earlier award she picked up at the Razzies. So, as it turns out the Razzies is just a good omen or epilogue for what is to become the ultimate and best award yet - the Oscars and quite deserving too if I may add. In conclusion, I am glad that the Academy do recognize movies like Hurt Locker, Blind Side and etc., and quite rightly and appropriate, too. However, I am a little concern about the television network tussle of broadcasting rights and I am quite sick of it. These people will just go on and on like overgrown babies on the loose with their steroid hormones and holding us viewers at ransom. These networks fight literally over everything the professional soccer leagues, the Games, the Oscars and the forthcoming FIFA World Cup!!! I just do not like one single bit of it at all and I just hope that the governments will come down hard on these insensitive money hungry mafias. Have a nice day.

Yes. I watched the Oscars. I wanted Sandra Bullock to win as Best Actress. She won so I was really happy. But I was also disappointed that Avatar did not win, along with James Cameron. I was rooting for these two. I think James Cameron truly deserved the Oscar because he is the first to make an innovative film like Avatar.

There were no surprises at all. I was happy for Jeff Bridges I haven't seen Crazy Heart but I know people who have and said he was great in it. He is such a great actor anyway. I also wanted Meryl Streep to win. I don't really care for Sandra Bullock as a actress. She does nothing for me. I also was happy Avatar did not win best pic. I am not interested in it. As for The Hurt Locker with all the attention it has received and I am not talking in the good way. The producer being banned and now a solider is suing them saying they pretty much stole his story. Not sure if that is true or not. I am not surprised it won either everything pretty much went the way the preditctions had said. All in all I thought it was boring. What about the way Tom Hanks came out and just said who won? I wonder did they tell him to do it like that or did he just want to get it over with? Odd he didn't name all movies.

Hai Here several list who won the 82nd anual academy awards winner Best Picture: The Hurt Locker (Kathryn Bigelow) Actor in a Leading Role: Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart) Actress in a Leading Role: Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) Directing: The Hurt Locker (Kathryn Bigelow) I should see all the movies and learn something from that..

i planned to watch the academy awards but i did see only the initial stages of the show . since it was morning in india when the awards function took place i was not able to watch it fully since i had college (it was monday morning here ). i was happy with some awards like the best supporting actors (both male and female ) , best animation movie and best movie . but i was disappointed with the best director award . it could have been given to inglorious basterds or avatar . but its all over . and over all a good one except a few unexpected winnings .
